🔧 New “Quick Fix” Accessibility Feature for Word on Windows
A new “Quick fix” feature for the Windows desktop version of Word is Coming soon and is currently available to Microsoft 365 Insiders. The feature allows users to fix multiple accessibility issues in one click.
Full Story and Our Insights:
The Accessibility Assistant, in the Windows desktop version of Microsoft Word, helps create accessible content by identifying and suggesting fixes for accessibility issues.
To streamline the process, the new Quick Fix feature allows users to resolve multiple issues with a single click.
For example, related issues like low-contrast colors are grouped into a Quick Fix card. Users can select the card, view higher-contrast color suggestions, and apply fixes across the document.
Additionally, this feature can be used to review and approve auto-generated alt text for images, making the accessibility review process more efficient.
Here’s how it works:
This feature is currently available to members of the Microsoft 365 Insider Program using the Windows desktop version of Word.
Start by opening a Word document and inserting images or adding light-colored text.
